I know, I know, "Jeeze, it's about time!" A week into September to wait for the next Convert Monthly! Our appologies. The reason: Job hunting. While I would love to have our games be 100% of our living income, its just not the case, so I had to supplement it. Such as life. No more worries though, as I have both a new "day job" AND a new Convert Monthly, with many more in the pipeline! That said, this month is actually a pretty cool one. It is one of my favorites, as it is very "chessy". So let's jump right into it! The Eliminator: In.. - Read More

We are now back from GenCon, one of the largest games conventions in the U.S. It was a 5 day event for us that went from July 29 to August 4. After playing the "recovering from GenCon game", we would like to bring you August's Convert Monthly! Note: since we have a number of actual games as well as puzzles, we have changed the name of this article to simply be "Convert Monthly" going forward. The theme this month is "Change", and the scoreboard actually plays a vital role as a playing piece in this game we are calling... The.. - Read More

DexCon 18 is here and we have a new game you can play with the Convert blocks! If you are in the Morristown, New Jersey area (in particular, The Hyatt), come try it out!

We created a new game of taking control where you actually CAN fight for squares! Enjoy this month's new game, and have a great July 4th :) Control Towers... While the normal game of Convert plays from a birds.. - Read More

Whew! What a blast Origins was this year. It was even more of an important event for us because this was the FIRST large (over 2000 people) convention for Yodeo Games! This year, Origins set a new record with close to 16 thousand unique badges (and close to 40 thousand on turnstile), so we knew we were going to have our hands full! Our FIRST day:We (Devon and I) pulled into the loading dock with all of our booth stuff: shelves, tables, chairs, signs and ... oh yeah...games! This would have been a crappy multiple trip load in, due to the.. - Read More

Origins 2015 is just a few days away and we are getting really amped to show Yodeo Games to the convention world (at least at this magnitude) for the FIRST time! With all the gaming goodness going around, we wanted to show a new game to play with the Convert blocks! This month won't have a "winner" per say, as it is not a contest, but hey, a new game! We hope you enjoy it! Think Inside the Box... One of the things people mention from time to time, is that putting the blocks away without the help from the.. - Read More
